Anatomy of a Blender, Part 4

Blendtec’s incredible blenders are known for their power. If you’re not familiar with Blendtec’s raw power, just watch any Will It Blend? video, and you’ll see what I mean.

But if a powerful motor is the heart of every Blendtec blender, then the jar is the soul. In this installment of Anatomy of a Blender, let’s examine a couple characteristics of Blendtec jars.

Feature #6: A Bigger, Stronger Blade

Only Blendtec’s blades can harness the awesome power of a Blendtec motor.

A Blendtec motor’s awesome power would be wasted on a wimpy blade. To handle the immense power, the blade needs to be bigger, thicker, and more robust than other blender blades. Our jars come equipped with ultrahard stainless steel blades that are cold-forged and tuned for heavy use. These blades resist corrosion much better than lesser blades.

One of the reasons Blendtec blades can pulverize just about anything is that their patented vertical wingtips and precision angles transfer more power than other blades. Plus, the distinct single-blade design allows your ingredients to fall easily in front of and behind the blade, rather than pushing ingredients away from the blending vortex.

Feature #7: Safe to Use, Easy to Read

Blendtec jars are safe, strong, and super easy to use.

Blendtec jars are made from durable Eastman Tritan™ copolyester. The jars are also BPA free and certified to the NSF standard for food safety in the kitchen. Plus, the material is uniquely formulated for an extra-long life.

Additionally, high-contrast, easy-to-read measuring marks (for cups, ounces, milliliters, and centiliters) are included on Blendtec’s jars to help you add just the right amounts of ingredients.

When you put out a great product you need someone to write about it. And working for Blendtec, there's a LOT to write about. Seriously. Brochures, ads, emails. Trade show entries, news releases, packaging. Scripts, merchandising materials, manuals. You name it.
So that's what I do as Blendtec's resident marketing/advertising writer. But when I'm not writing about the most incredible blenders on the planet, I'm digging into fantasy books, building train tracks with my kids and taking pretty pictures of cool stuff.

I don’t see anything in this section about the differences between the traditional 4-sided jar the Wild Side (5-side) jar. I got both with my package (a gift), but really, isn’t the Wild Side the ONLY one needed?

Hello,
The FourSide jar is used for smaller portion sizes. If you didn’t want to make a big smoothie or a lot of soup, you can use the FourSide jar to make the portions smaller. It’s also great for making ice cream.
